Heavenly Gang overcomes Earthly Fiend, Xu Qing hasn't entered the White Cloud Cave, yet possesses a standalone Heavenly Gang Divine Technique outside the Nine Heavens Secret Scripture.
Moreover, it is an ultimate martial art of slaughtering Divine Technique, which is his only bottom-line method to annihilate the old fox spirit.
The fearless sacrifice of over ten thousand Fierce Generals in exchange for the opportunity to eliminate the fox spirit catastrophe and obtain the White Cloud Cave Celestial Scripture, this deal is undoubtedly worthwhile.
What's more, he can also repay the old debt of Lord Yuan teaching him the Xuan Yu Nine Heavens Profound Lady Sword Technique and the Divine Travel Celestial Scripture, avenging Xuan Yu's death...
The Yin Country exerted its final strength, the town's great cauldron emitted a loud and majestic ringing, forcibly confining the fox spirit attempting to break through the Yin Country domain to a mere inch of land.
The Sacred Maiden controlled the Ghost Head Divine Saber with life-risking fury, eyes bloodshot.
White Cloud Mountain thundered with continuous sounds of stone cracking, the entire divine mountain forged by White Jade Furnace for a thousand years now showing cracks.
Yet the fox spirit, at the cost of damaging its foundational cultivation, is determined to break free!
Xu Qing's gaze was unprecedentedly heavy, he locked onto the fox spirit's location, the energy of the forest within a hundred miles gathered into the body of the Fur Corpse, while Xu Qing's internal Fur Corpse magical power was poured into the Shouyang Great Axe without reservation.
Thirtieth level, thirty-first level...
After the thirtieth level of the Heavenly Gang Axe Technique, each subsequent breakthrough level is the sum of the magical power and divine thoughts consumed by the previous levels.
Xu Qing drained his internal magical power, finally stacking the Heavenly Gang Axe Technique to an unprecedented thirty-second level!
"Slash!"
A dazzling white light cut through Yin and Yang, the sinister and gloomy Yin Country suddenly turned blazing white.
...
Nine Netherworld, the surroundings enveloped in corpse aura, ghost flames soaring.
In the former abode of King Yama, a towering figure clothed in a robe with intricate patterns, embroidered with Myriad Corpses and Ghosts Painting, was attempting to offer the authority of Yin Mountain.
At a certain moment, above the eternally dark Nine Netherworld, a suddenly appeared white rainbow light.
That rainbow light was only several dozen feet long, but it pierced through the barrier between Yin and Yang, seemingly hanging in the dim sky like a mirage.
Above Yin Mountain, inside Yanluo Palace.
The figure clothed in intricate patterned robe abruptly looked up, his towering Dharma form instantly appeared over the palace.
At this moment, the imposing Yanluo Palace seemed like a Box Garden in his palm, making that Dharma form appear even grander.
That figure was none other than the master of the Underworld Dharma Corpse, the supreme being governing the three corpses of heaven, earth, and humanity—evil corpse, yin corpse, grievance corpse.
The Dharma Master appeared, and all other Dharma Corpses on Yin Mountain bowed their heads, not daring to act rashly.
At this moment, the Dharma Master's empty and unviewable eyes gazed outside the Underworld, somewhat surprised:
"This is? The mortal world..."
Before the empty Mirror of Sin stage, a Dharma Corpse in the form of a Buddha suddenly revealed its true form.
Clad in tattered kasaya, its face half decayed, its golden body withered, only ghost flames flickered in its hollow eyes.
The Dharma Corpse folded its hands in prayer, speaking as if thousands of voices chanted simultaneously.
"Report to the Dharma Master, a thousand years ago King Yama once dispatched his retinue to the mortal world to seek people facing catastrophe, attempting to regain control of the Underworld order, this person perhaps is the one they sought."
The Dharma Master pondered for a moment, suddenly raising a hand to erase that white rainbow phantom, his voice slow:
"To sever the three corpses, one must destroy human, divine, and ghost paths altogether. If one corpse of the three is not vanquished, the three corpses shall persist forever..."
"An avatar facing catastrophe in the mortal world, even if one day it possesses the ability to annihilate the grievance corpse, it is in vain."
"The Dharma Master's meaning is..."
The Buddha Dharma Corpse looked up, only to see the grand Dharma form above Yanluo Palace had already vanished.
...
In the mortal world, White Cloud Mountain.
The thousand-foot axe shadow, carrying the aura of obliteration, engulfed the Sacred Maiden's body, then sliced through Yunmeng Mountain's majestic peaks, passing by the Dayan Army's eight trigrams Gen Palace position, forming a ravine outside from the life gate.
Dayan army troops heard the sound of mountains and rivers collapsing, Wang Liang and others standing at the high Qian Position saw the deep chasm stretching across Yunmeng Mountain, from afar, the water of Yunmeng discovered an opening, the vast river water, meeting a discharge gate, surged downward.
"..."
The crowd's breathing halted, everyone was speechless.
...
White Cloud Cave entrance.
Xu Qing gazed at the empty ground where only half of a cane was stuck into the earth, yet his mind remained tense.
At this moment, the Yin Country had disappeared, daylight reappeared over White Cloud Cave.
Xu Qing grasped the Cyan Dragon scale armor, countless mysterious runes flickered, and the strange gates and evasion instantly divined the result.
A great omen of ill fortune!
The death star Xu Qing jumps every day was now roaring with fury.
He almost instinctively utilized the Two-Faced Three-Blade Technique, only to find the same half cane stuck in the ground behind him, and that cane transforming into the true form of the fox spirit.
The fox spirit with pure white fur, yet only one tail, combined itself with the Ghost Head Divine Saber, directly slashing towards Xu Qing's Huangting location.
Earthly Fiend technique 'Substitute Stake', Earthly Fiend technique 'Stake Dissolution', Earthly Fiend technique 'Soul Extortion'...
Xu Qing realized in a flash that the cane the old fox spirit was using as a crutch was a Substitute Stake it had cultivated, ready to sacrifice to escape death in a life-threatening crisis.
Only the thirty-second level of the Heavenly Gang Axe Technique was too potent, such that even though the fox spirit timely activated the Substitute Stake, it was still forced to reveal its original form by the fierce axe momentum.
In a flash of thought, the Ghost Head Divine Saber was already overhead, Xu Qing avoided the sharpness, dodging again using the Lean Banner!
The fissure in White Cloud Mountain deepened, the cyan Lean Banner turned to dust.
To this day, the Four-sided Lean Banner that accompanied Xu Qing for nearly twenty years had been reduced to just one red flag.
Feeling the power contained within the Ghost Head Divine Saber, Xu Qing once again sensed the profound foundation accumulated over ten thousand years of cultivation.
In terms of mere magical power, the fox spirit outmatched him by far.
If not for the three transformations, he would have long been drained of magical power.
